It's pretty common. Unless you're using a proxy server ;) your computer transmits your ISP - which includes a numerical code for your city/town/state - to the website you're looking at, which in turn generates area-specific ads along its ad margin.

Are you talking about an IP address?

Oop! Yes, that's what I meant. I meant that a part of the IP address reveals the computer's general location. Just didn't state it very well. Thanx. :$
